Bloo Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I don't know about all lines, but probably. They were available in the 59 Cadillac for sure, and could be tripped from a button on the floor near the dimmer switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1956 Pontiac calls it a Deluxe Elecrtamatic Radio. 1957 at least through 1960 the signal seeking radio is called WONDERBAR Radio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
